Free Photos For Off the Wall Friday

With the Curves2 safely under my sewing machine's foot, my mind has begun to wonder on what's the next. big project.

I'm always on the look out for free inspiration. . . isn't everyone? Free is good. . . . Inspiration is even better.

On that topic I thought I would share some of my favorite sites that have a ton of free photos to inspire any creative creature!
